When I run (ran) proftpd/wu-ftpd I did it like this: [root@kamajokk /]# cat /var/service/proftpd/run #!/bin/sh PATH="/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/var/qmail/bin:/usr/local/bin:$PATH" exec 2>&1 exec tcpserver -XHRv -c50 -llocalhost \ -x/etc/tcprules.d/ftpd.cdb 0 ftp \ /usr/sbin/in.proftpd -n -d [root@kamajokk /]# cat /var/service/wuftpd/run #!/bin/sh PATH="/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/var/qmail/bin:/usr/local/bin:$PATH" exec 2>&1 exec tcpserver -HRv -c40 -llocalhost \ -x/etc/tcprules.d/ftpd.cdb 0 ftp \ /usr/sbin/in.ftpd -l -a -t 7200 Now I don't since my customers are all running windoze and have to use WinSCP (http://winscp.vse.cz/eng/) or cygwin+openssh instead. No more private ftp stuff... -- Regards // Oden Eriksson
